In the past I've tried following the instructions, used to be on the Gentoo site somewhere, and I've never got it to work. I literally copy and pasted the info and it has never sent the missing messages or a error message. If you do get it to work, I'd love to know how you did it. If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath getting this to work. Unless something has changed since I tried it, it is a lost cause. Dale :-) :-)
